The Home Front (2018 Cohort)
The 2018 Summer Teacher Institute focuses on the US Home Front—the engine of production, innovation, and volunteerism that made Allied victories possible on battlefields all across the globe.
Rob Citino, PhD, the Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Historian at The National WWII Museum and author of numerous books on the war, will head the team of expert historians, curators, and educators who will conduct the program.
Phase 1: New Orleans
Participants will gather in New Orleans for a weeklong seminar led by Dr. Citino, guest scholars, and other key Museum staff.
Morning sessions will focus on historical content and strategies for introducing students to the complex role of the Home Front in carrying out the war.
Each participant will receive the Museum’s newest curriculum resources on this topic, including access to useful videos, oral histories, and other digital media.
Participants will also examine WWII artifacts and archival documents from the Museum’s vault, meet WWII veterans, and explore the Museum’s growing collection of innovative exhibits
Visits with World War 2 Veterans
Phase 2: Workshops
During the 2018-19 school year, participants will design and lead their own professional development workshops using the curriculum resources explored during Phase I.
The Museum will provide free copies of its published curriculum guides, as well as assistance with planning and advertising the workshops.
Phase 3: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
In July 2019, participants will reconvene in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and spend a week touring historic WWII sites on the island of Oahu.
The itinerary will include a blend of military installations involved in the Pearl Harbor attack and sites relating to key Home Front themes from Phase I.
